Credit where credit is due, we'll see how Ley lies but one decision out of 100 does not make a good strike rate - I wouldn't be putting money on it (yet)
Mind you if the overall policy is f*cked the saleswoman ain't gunna fix it. _________________ “I even went as far as becoming a Southern Baptist until I realised they didn’t keep ‘em under long enough” Kinky Friedman |

Morrisons calculated cruelty is his legacy:
All things considered, the immigration portfolio will improve by losing Morrison, who has shown himself to be a hypocrite, willing to harm innocent people for political purposes.
It will be interesting to see how much damage he can do to pensioners.

Tony Abbott has labelled Morrison's new portfolio as "a ministry for economic participation". I find this amusing. |

Amusing indeed! Perhaps the entire nation is invited to participate in a decline in real wages and a black ban on the media reporting of bad economic newsin the interests of national security! _________________ In the end the rain comes down, washes clean the streets of a blue sky town.

Don't get the fact of Walkley awards get in the way of not reading her Joel.
A brave journalist Joel - She's got balls mate. |
The amount of time I've seen her repeat incorrect information in numerous articles on my industry would make me rich if I was given a dollar each time.
She may have "balls", but my problem is when she goes gung-ho at something which she clearly has limited knowledge about. She'll probably win an award for these same articles too. |

You miss the point, Wokko. Those Twitter posts are not just very funny (in a sad way) but they also show what people in the real world think of that 1950s creep Abbott. _________________ �Let's eat Grandma.� Commas save lives! |

I'd hesitate to label the left wing twitterati as either the real world or people. They're also not really what I'd call funny either.
One thing about Abbott is he's certainly not quick on his feet. When he gets blindsided, he's not like a Keating or Kennett who would have some glib response on the tip of their tongue, he's a slow, deliberate kind of fellow.
This leads to great fodder for journalists, but if there's one thing I hate about politics in this country it's the constant quest for 'gotcha' moments and the inevitable crowing when one arrives. This is one of those moments, and all it does is make me even more cynical about political discourse. |

You'd be right .... if this was an isolated incident. But it isn't. It's a consistent, repetitive pattern which, coming as it does over and over and over again, demonstrates beyond doubt that this really is the way this man still thinks. Of course people laugh at him gaffes, you have to laugh 'coz otherwise you'd cry to to think that this nation is led by man who is (a) so hopelessly behind the times and (b) so unintelligent as not to be able to cover it up despite (presumably) having been told by his media minders how much of an electoral disaster it is. He tries to cover it, he goes out of his way to mislead and pretend that he gets it, but he just hasn't got what it takes to keep the effort up day in and day out. _________________ �Let's eat Grandma.� Commas save lives! |

lol, pay that.
I actually think Tone would make a decent wartime leader. He seems to perk up when shit's going down. I think the day to day minutiae of government and a 24 hour media cycle just isn't his cup of tea.
Was a pretty fine parliamentary attack dog too, I wouldn't mind seeing a bit more enthusiasm for actual government though. |

On the front line....I would agree. |
